Paranoia pays off.

Karno's Rare-Because-He-Never-Has-Time Blather:
So yesterday, in the Denver airport, it was coming up on 10 PM, when my plane to Salt Lake City was supposed to take off. My suspicions were aroused by the fact that the screen by gate 50 (the gate designated on my boarding pass) said "Wichita". I asked the lady at the counter where the Salt Lake City flight was. "Oh, that's been delayed till midnight", she responded.
This came as a shock, as all the previous delays had been announced via text, but I'd heard nothing about this. I couldn't believe it. Literally. I asked where the leaderboard (the board where all the flights going at the airport are listed) was. She waved a hand and said "Somewhere over there".
I promptly stomped somewhere over there, and found the board. Looked up my flight number - it was going to another city. Checked out Salt Lake City. Yes, there was a SouthWest airlines flight to Salt Lake City at 10 - from gate 42. Seems pretty much all the info on my boarding pass was wrong. I pointed this out to the lady at the counter. She checked her computer and said. "Oh yeah, that's right! You'd better hustle, they're boarding!"
So I hustled, and just made it. I was the last to board, and got the last open seat in the very back. But at least I didn't miss my flight! For once, being a distrustful semi-paranoid paid off.
Sheesh. Neglecting to tell me they'd changed gates was bad enough, but what was up with lying to me?!

FA+

That phrase is why we are at this point.
The world isn’t against you my friend!
I get it, shit happens and it sucks,… it’s frustrating, can even piss you off!!!
But you made your flight, and the assholes who gave you a runaround,… yeah they weren’t even getting paid to put up with your bullshit.
Stfu and get on with your life.
I wasn’t even talking to you.
Karno has every right to complain about any damn thing he wants in his journals, and I have every right to reply to any damn thing I want.
Get over your self righteous ass.
You make a total ass of yourself constantly!
You can’t provide any backup for your useless opinions, and you’re left with meaningless insults.
What a complete crock if shit
Seriously dude, I hope you’re on the west side of the fault when commifornia slides off the map.
And all you can do is act like a twelve year old and copy anything I say.
You think your opinions are useful, I suppose?
B: I never said my opinion was anything other than my opinion
Again, get over yourself.
That’s laughable!
Sorry to ping a little truth into your echo chamber, but this shutdown is solely in the lap of the democrat party!
Trump and other donors have offered up their personal money to pay our military and first responders,… and the democrats refuse to let it happen.
Yet you and kitty litter want to complain.
Move to China and see how you like it
🫏🤡
And again with your extremely tired "America love it or leave it" rhetoric.
Sorry, we're sticking around and actually trying to make this country a better place.
How’s that for “love it or leave it”
Dipshit
You think Mamdani is a communist. You're stuck in some version of the fifties that never even existed.
He'll certainly work out far better than Cuomo ever did.
I’ll take that over a communist any day.
Mamdani isn't a communist, and he represents absolutely no threat to you or anyone else. He'll only make life better for the people of New York.
Go ahead, try and name a single bad policy proposal in his platform. You're just repeating tired right wing talking points.
Can't you tell the difference between a Democratic Socialist and a communist?
-And no, they're not the same thing.
Government run grocery stores.
So Kroger is just going to turn over their keys?
Not likely, nah, he’s going to steal ma and pa corner stores in the name of “public good”
And how exactly does he plan on stocking the shelves?
By “seizing the means of production “
So yeah, your family farm?
Not anymore! It’s OUR farm!!
Rent too expensive?
No problem, the government will seize control of apartment buildings and freeze rent.
Don’t worry about how much any of that all will cost, he will just raise taxes to pay for it all.
Yeah, crush capitalism, screw over everyone,…
Not communist at all! 🙄🙄🤦🏻♂️
This is not a zero sum game. No stores will be driven out of business.
No one will be seizing the means of production.
No one will be taking away any farms.
No one will be seizing control of any apartment buildings. That's not how rent control works. There's nothing new or unusual about doing that.
He may, in fact, raise taxes on the richest people, which is long overdue.
And as a matter of fact, none of his platform is remotely communist in any way.
How is he planning on paying for this?
Taxing the people who are already moving out of his jurisdiction?…
Once the rich have moved out or are no longer rich because of communistic redistribution of wealth,.. who’s gonna pay those taxes?
Someone has to pay.
Rest assured it won’t be that spoiled communist shitbird.
Most of the people in New York pay taxes (Except, of course, for the richest people, who can afford to hire people to figure out how they can avoid paying their fair share of them, such as Drumpf has always done. Remember when he said "Only suckers pay taxes?")
I'm sure that Mamdani doesn't try to weasel out of his taxes like the richest people do.
Employee: was badly in need of a job, saw this opening and applied. has no real customer service training nor interest; just needs a paycheck. Generally bored and/or lazy; 'work' to them translates to 'passing the required time to get paid, then going home. Doing anything related to work is optional.' Since they got put in a place where they couldn't hide or slack off, they started brushing off anyone who came to them for help... you know... asking them to do their job.
If I hadn't worked with a bunch of these people in the past, I wouldn't say these things, but I've met people who are experts at both work dodging for pay and skilled at screwing up as much as possible while still doing the bare minimum to qualify as working.
Glad you safely made it home.
Looks like it's time for a whole lot of pink slips to be shipped out.
